Having driven i-Pace yesterday, I'm somewhat confused by one of the more basic functions of the car - the electronic parking brake.
Coming from Audis which I've driven for two decades, I'm used to never ever having to touch a switch for the EPB - when leaving the house for example, it's climb in the car, press start, put into reverse and press the throttle pedal - the car automatically releases the EPB. Now this functionality is the same for i-Pace.
However, I then came to a standstill at traffic lights in i-Pace, took my foot off the brake and the car crept forward, so I had to either put my foot on the brake, or press a switch below the light switch. In Audis, you stop at lights, you take your foot off the brake and the EPB is automatically kept on until you pull away.
Am I missing something of the functionality - or do I really have to either keep my foot on the brake, blinding those behind me, or do I have to press a button each time? I believe this is the same for most new Jaguars, so perhaps a seasoned E- or F-Pace driver can enlighten me.
